John Licciardone, DO, Associate Dean for Clinical Research and Executive Director of the Osteopathic Research Center at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, has been appointed to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine’s National Advisory Council for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

The 2/8/12 New York Times reported that the number of Americans living in a family that spent more than 10% of its income on prescription drugs decreased from 2003 to 2008, following five years of steady increases, according to a new RAND Corporation study​ published in the February 2012 Health Affairs. 

Kaiser Health News reported on 2/14/12 that, between 2004 and 2009, the number of home births grew 29% to 29,650, according to figures released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although this represents less than 1% of all U.S. births in 2009, it's the highest proportion since data collection began in 1989. ​
